Tal said that Israel is years liehind the West in dealing
w ith most environmental issues The activist described a
nation where only 5 perc ent of all garbage is rec ycled,
public transportation use is down 25 percent and 70 p«r
cent of the c ountry is paved This inability to catch up
c omes at a time and in a country that needs modem solu
tions the most
It's lime we stop and think and change direction," Tal
said
Open spat r is harder to come by in the country, he
said Tal cited this dwindling of land to old policies and
new indifferent e "This wasting of land." he said, "it's a
furu turn of government policy '
Water quality and mr pollution are also constant prob
lems fac ing the public. Tal said By 2010 Jerusalem's air
quality may not even l>e livable "It could be c omparable
to Mevic o ( iJ\ where kids i an'l go out and play." he said.

nization. works in the courts and laboratory for solutions
"We don't always win but we keep on trying" he said.
lie emphasized the importance of public; involvement
in the cause, citing the urgency of the issues. "It's our
only Holy land, and we have to do our best to keep it
clean.” In* said

undergraduates an opportunity to get involved in the

Symposium discussed successes of university
■ LECTURE: The event
comprised a lecture by
Jaroslav Pelikan and a
four-person panel
By Jamie 0. Pope
ffWStnc* ftapcMtw
Higher education, its public
perception, scrutiny and criticism
were among the topics of dis
cussion at a symposium titled
"Universities and the Public Per
ception." Wednesday in the Ger
linger Alumni Lounge
The symposium, which was
co-sponsored by the Office of the
President and the University's
Humanities Center, was origi
nally scheduled as part of Dave
Frohnrnayer's inauguration as
University President, but was
postponed because of bis daugh
ter Kirsten's heath problems
The symposium consisted of a
Im ture followed by a panel dis
cussion.
The main lecture was titled,
"The University as Partnership"
and was presented by Jaroslav
Pelikan.
Pelikan. a history professor at
Yale University ami the President
of the American Academy of Arts
and Sciences, spoke on the pub
lic perception of past and pre
sent.
Pelikan said he believes uni
versity professors are receiving
severe public criticism.
“What has happened is that
criticism tiiat was once reserved
for the church and the clergy, is
being directed toward the uni
versities," he said.
Pelikan said the focus of nega
tive criticism is the result of ques
tions facing higher education
such as tile balance between pro
fessors’ research and the instruc
tion of undergraduate students.
Pelikan believes undergrade
ales do not always receive prop
er guidance regarding their edu
cation,
"When 1 started teaching at the
University of Chicago in 1946.
Gls would come to the pharma
cy and say '1 want some red pills,
some green pills and some blue
pills because they look pretty,'"
he said.
“If the pharmacy sold those
pills, they would have gone to
jail. Yet there were students who
were afflicted with the worst dis
ease of all — ignorance; yet. they
were allowed to wander in their
diseased state." he said.
Pelikan concluded his lecture
by saying there needs to be a part
nership between the public and
the universities He said such a
partnership will restore the pub
lic's faith in the higher education
system
The second part of the sympo
sium was a panel discussion The
panel was composed of four fac
ulty members from the t Iniversi
ty Christopher Toby Kdson; a
professor of education and poli
cy management, Earl Pomeroy; a
professor emeritus of history,
Richard Maxwell Brown; a pro
fessor of history and Risa Palm
Dean of the University's College
of Arts and Sciences.
Kdson. a professor of education
and policy management, dis
cussed the changing public per
ception tow ard higher education
in the United States He said this
perception has changed Iks a use
of a clash in values between the
American university and society,
which has caused a gradual sep
aration between the two. Kdson
said there has been a growing
resentment bv the public toward
universities.
“As we rely on university grad
uates. there is a sense of a loss of
control." he said. “This has ia-e
at«d a fettling of resentment by
the public toward universities."
Pomeroy analyzed the public
perception of the western states.
He said universities west of the
Mississippi differ sharply from
those on the east coast. One of
these differences is a non-empha
sis on theology.
He said western universities
created the concept of the public
institution. He said the state has
eliminated fields such as religion.
Brown discussed the historical
perspective of higher education
in Oregon. He said Prince Lucien
Campbell, who was president of
the University from 1902-1925.
was responsible for the expan
sion of the University.
However. Brown said the Uni
versity is in same place it was in
1925 when Campbell died.
"Right now the University is
having to justify its existence as
it did In 1925," he said. "How
ever. we have a president, who
like Campbell, is a native Ore
gonian and is dedicated to high
er education.”
Palm said in a time of intense
scrutiny and criticism, people
still have faith in the University.
“Parents believe w-e will give
their kids a good education," she
said. "Undergraduates come to
us when they could get their edu
cation in the military or a trade
school. They come hero because
they believe they will get a bet
ter education here than in those
other places.” she said
Steve Shankman. director of
the University’s Humanities Cen
ter, said the purpose of the sym
posium was to examine the
issues which are facing higher
education.
"The idea is to get a perspec
tive on what we're doing and Ixt
more focused on the issues at
hand he said.
